I've had a brief look at the Custom Tag plugin to LMS - my current thought is that I may read the custom tags into Muso from LMS but NOT from a file scan - because (a) I'd have to find a file tag library that can actually read custom tags (my current one can't, apart from Ogg/Vorbis comment tags), and (b) I'd have to replicate all the configuration of what tags to look for, how to combine them etc, in Muso. It's much easier - at the moment - to say this will be an enhancement that will only work with LMS integration (i.e. will read in the custom tags on a synch) - then I can look to extend it to file scanning and reading custom tags directly further down the line. This will be experimental work for the time being - getting the custom tags from LMS into Muso would be the easy bit - then I have to think of flexible ways to allow browsing by these attributes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
